Portrait of the artist as a young man

Eric Ravilious's paintings have a particularly English quality; but while they celebrate the English landscape, they in no way romaticise it. He later became a naval war artist, and died in Iceland while painting the fight against Hitler. This documentary, filled with many examples of his art, casts him as a boyish innocent, a man filled with simple excitement at the joys in his life, very much including his craft, albeit one who asked a lot of his (also talented) wife. If you like what you see in this film, the Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden is a great place to see his work (and that of the other Great Bardfield artists).
